CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WVLT) – The Chattanooga Fire Department said two people suffered minor injuries Tuesday afternoon when their plane crashed on a busy road during rush hour.

CFD said the plane’s engine went out just before 6 p.m. and that it crashed in the 4600 block of Shallowford Road, about a half-mile away from the nearby airport runway.

Although this was during rush hour, CFD said, “Amazingly, the plane avoided traffic on Shallowford Road, crashing on the side of the road just down from the intersection of Shallowford Road and Airport Road.”

When crews arrived on the scene, one person was already out of the plane, and the other person was trying to get himself out but was trapped. CFD cut pieces of metal and removed a portion of the plane to free him from the wreckage. Additionally, crews had to stop a small fuel leak.

Both people were then taken to the hospital with what appeared to be minor injuries, CFD said.

The FAA and NTSB are going to investigate the crash.
